CONGRESSMAN GENE GREEN TO TOUR LOCAL MANUFACTURING PLANT:
 
U OF H’S TEXAS MANUFACTURING ASSISTANCE CENTER ASSISTS FLEXITALLIC IN EFFICIENCY AND PROFIT
 
Pasadena, TX- Congressman Gene Green (D-Houston), on Wednesday April 12, 2006, will tour the manufacturing facility of Flexitallic L.P., a manufacturer of high quality industrial sealing products near Pasadena, TX.
Flexitallic hired the University of Houston's Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center as consultants to assist Flexitallic in improving efficiency and profits.
“Flexitallic is a market leader in manufacturing industrial gaskets,” said Congressman Gene Green.  “This is a world class company and I’m glad that they have plants here in the Great City of Houston.  And I’m honored that I have been asked to come in and take a tour of their facilities.” 
 
The Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center receives Federal funding through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).  The University of Houston is one of only seven partners in the State of Texas that provide services to enhance the competitive position of the state's manufacturing sector.
 
“As a supporter of the NIST program and a graduate of the University of Houston, I’m equally elated at the fact that they are working with the University to improve their standing,” continued Congressman Gene Green.  ”The University of Houston stands as one of the top Universities in Texas and I’m proud that corporations within our state look to it to better themselves.”
